Unlike what’s happening with recommendation systems, where only a few super stars are pushed by the algorithms. If anyone like traditional illustrations, here’s my profile: https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/495699973550816234
It’s lack of vision, and corporate control. These amazing writers and directors who signed in for this project did it for the bucks. They delivered a cookie cutter product, as the boss asked them to. They didn’t approach it with passion, with innovation, with blood-pumping mystery and intrigue. It’s just a well-paying job to them, and a resume line. So, it doesn’t come out good.
At this point, I dislike ALL marvel TV shows on D+. Loki was the best for me, but they kind of destroyed his character, so that fell flat too.
From the Star Wars side, the first 2 seasons of Mandalorian were good, and also Andor. Neither Boba Fett nor Kenobi were good (they felt as flat as Marvel shows feel). Andor is probably the most well done show in the whole of D+. And the reason for it is simple: Tony Gilroy was left alone to realize his vision, a vision he always wanted to do, but wasn’t given the opportunity before. In fact, Disney was completely hands-off. Neither Kennedy nor Disney interfered, because they believed that the show will be kind of underground (and indeed, they didn’t market it much). So they kind of ignored it. The ONLY thing they asked Gilroy to change was the F-word in the last episode.
But in the Marvel side, everything goes through Kevin Feige, and everything get homogenized so it appeals to everyone. Hence that final feeling of blah.
For Marvel to survive, they need to give voice to talents to provide us with a unique vision, like we’ve seen with Andor, or Joker (while at the same time, keeping the timeline intact, of course).
